This book is part of a series designed to supplement any
course book you may be using. Each book in the series
specialises in either language skills or aspects of the English
language itself. It is designed to be used either in class or by
students working on their own.
Just Reading and Writing consists of 16 units, containing a
variety of reading texts on subjects such as stress, memory,
crocodile hunters, emails from abroad, hobbies and
intelligence. These are designed to give students experience of
reading and writing in different styles of English. There are
also exercises which the student will be able to use even if a
teacher is unavailable for explanations or guidance. There is a
comprehensive Answer key, and where free writing is
required an 'example answer' is usually given.
How you use the material in class is up to you, of course.
Our aim has been to provide stimulating texts and tasks
which can lead to any number of different activities once the
exercises in this book have been completed.
We hope you find this book useful and that you will also
try the other books in the series; Just Vocabulary,
Just Grammar and Just Listening and Speaking.
